Ive had C3C for 6 days now and Ive managed to complete the Mesopotamia, Middle Ages, and Meso America scenarios and now I am playing the Napoleonic scenario - and its easily the best of the four so far!
The unit graphics are really cool and they look so much better than the original musketman and rifleman. Its also refreshing that you don't need to spend loads of time on empire management because the civs start off with a good infrastructure and captured cities retain their culture rating and most of their buildings (I really hope this feature has been extended to the main game).
Its relatively easy to get the best units because you don't need many techs so you can divert most of your tax income to the treasury afterwards (more gold, more units!).
All of these factors combined means that you can focus upon building massive armies of cool units to squash your rivals in one massive slugfest - exactly my kind of conquest!
Ive been playing as the UK on Monarchy setting and Ive been kicking ass (I sent poor old Boney off to Elbe Island in less than 30 turns!) and now Im taking on Russia, Austria, Denmark, and the Ottomon Empire - great fun!
I think next time I play this scenario though, Im going to play as France on a harder setting - I think France is in a more difficult position than the UK (the UK's Navy makes Britain virtually unassailable), so next time this scenario will be a serious challenge.
Well done to Firaxis for making this excellent scenario, I look forward to the other 5 I have yet to play.
What does everyone else think of this conquest? Are there any other conquests that people prefer over this one? Any thoughts welcome.
